Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began conducting a study of the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) corridor from I-664 in Hampton to I-564 in Norfolk (approximately 11 miles).

The purpose of this study is to develop alternative solutions to address insufficient transportation capacity and correct roadway, bridge and tunnel deficiencies in the corridor. The alternatives will be evaluated using several criteria including their potential environmental impacts. The final report, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), will be prepared using input from the public and from various state and federal agencies, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Study Updates

VDOT and FHWA released the Draft EIS on December 21, 2012 for public review. All comments were due by February 13, 2012. Since publication of the Draft EIS, the study was removed from the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization’s long range plan, therefore further development of the study has been put on hold.

A full copy of the Draft EIS is available for download on this website.
